Enter Regular/Supplemental Timesheets - Select Tab

Access this tab using Timesheets>Enter Regular/Supplemental Timesheets. It is only available with the Payroll module; it is not available for Payroll Link users.

Use this form to enter the Earning, Benefit, Deduction, Workers' Compensation, and Leave Codes to use to calculate an employee's paycheck. Total Hours and Gross Pay are displayed at the bottom of each tab and reflect the entries made on the Earnings tab.

Use this tab to enter the Processing Group, Timesheet Type, Pay Date, Pay Period Begin Date, Pay Period End Date, Employee ID, SUTA Weeks, and Timesheet Reference (if appropriate), for which to enter timesheets.

Use the Regular or Supplemental Timesheet for an employee in the following situations:

  • Enter Regular Timesheets for employees who do not have Default Timesheets (perhaps because their payroll information varies from payroll to payroll), or to change an employee's Default Timesheet information for one particular payroll.
  • Enter Supplemental Timesheets to give employees off-schedule or other non-standard payments; for example, you would use a Supplemental Timesheet to create a replacement check for a voided Regular Payroll check. Note that timesheets entered using this form are for a particular processing group, pay date, pay period begin date, and pay period end date.
  • If Default Timesheets (Timesheets>Enter Default Timesheets) have already been set up for all employees, you do not need to use this form to process a Regular Payroll. Note that the information entered on the Timesheets>Enter Default Timesheets form automatically displays on this form, for both Regular and Supplemental Timesheets.

 

Processing Group: Select the processing group for which to enter timesheets.

Timesheet Type: Select a payroll type of Regular (R) or Supplemental (S).

Pay Date: Enter the pay date for this timesheet.

Pay Period Begin Date: Enter the pay period begin date for a supplemental type timesheet. A default pay period begin date displays for regular type timesheets. (Pay Dates were created on the Pay Schedule tab in the Maintain>Payroll>Processing Groups form.)

Pay Period End Date: Enter the pay period end date for a supplemental type timesheet. A default pay period end date displays for regular type timesheets. (Pay Dates were created on the Pay Schedule tab in the Maintain>Payroll>Processing Groups form.)

Employee ID: Enter an employee ID.

SUTA Weeks: Enter the number of SUTA (State Unemployment Tax) Weeks for this pay period, if applicable.

Timesheet Reference: Enter a timesheet reference number for tracking purposes, if desired.

Total Hours: This is the employee's total for the Hours column entered on the Earnings tab, excluding any Earnings Code that is "Contribute to Net Pay Only."

Gross Pay: This is the employee's total for the Amount column entered on the Earnings tab, excluding any Earnings Code that is "Contribute to Net Pay Only."

  • Processing groups must have been previously set up using the Maintain>Payroll>Processing Groups form.
  • When creating a Regular Timesheet, the pay date entered must be a valid pay date for the selected processing group (Maintain>Payroll>Processing Groups). A valid pay date is one that is part of the processing group's pay cycle and has not yet been calculated and printed. Furthermore, only active and inactive processing groups are available for selection.
  • Keep in mind that timesheet information consists of Earning Codes, Benefit Codes, Deduction Codes, Workers' Compensation Codes, and Leave Codes. The codes assigned to an employee's timesheet are applied to that employee when payroll is processed.
  • For Regular and Supplemental Payrolls, only active employees are available for selection.
  • The system uses Default and/or Regular Timesheets to process Regular Payrolls, and Supplemental Timesheets to process Supplemental Payrolls.
  • Fast data entry is imperative in timesheet processing. Use the Sort Order button to sort the timesheets to a specific order and then use the Next Record button and Previous Record button to move through the employee timesheets. When a change is made to a timesheet and the Next Record button is clicked, the record is saved before moving to the next employee timesheet for that tab. The Employee ID displays at the top of each form, making it easy to identify each employee when entering timesheet information.
  • To view Earning code rates and amounts, clear the Hide Earning Code Rates and Amounts During Timesheet Processing check box using Organization>Set Up Modules>Payroll.
  • If using a Supplemental Timesheet, and zero is entered in the SUTA Weeks box, the system records zero as the SUTA weeks, and then calculates a sum.
  • For a regular timesheet, the SUTA weeks default to the number of weeks specified in Maintain>Payroll>Processing Groups. If a different number of SUTA weeks is entered other than the default value, that new number is used in the calculation process. This means that a zero may be entered to have no SUTA calculated.
